GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Mass Academy truly is the best public magnet school for math and science out there. The coursework is rigorous and students are truly challenged. While Mass Academy is untraditional, I've found it to be an excellent fit. The focus on math and science, small size, and excellent teaching staff creates one of the best school environments out there.

The course work is rigorous and challenging, and pushes students to collaborate and come up with their own approaches to problems. There are many opportunities for students, like resources to work on STEM projects and a senior year taking college courses. The community is supportive and close-knit.
